Default So what do you guys think about this wheel?

I was at the LA Autoshow last week and saw this rather wicked looking wheel.



I have no idea how much this thing costs but I wouldn't be surprised even if it carried some six figure price tag, and I know I shouldn't be street parking anymore if I had these on my car.

Anyways, I was just bored and wanted to see how it would look on my Breakwater Blue Metallic IS250 (hey I couldn't help myself )



I know my photoshop skill is probably not the best around so no flames please

hahahaha, that looks a little too extreme to be put on a real car. Now in a rap video, i could see that.

and i bet someone is going to say it's too "rice". except, that one wheel probably costs more than all the "rice" one can put in a car.

A lot of mainstream rappers wouldnt even put that on their cars. Gangsta rap is so played out. Lupe Fiasco is the truth.

I think you're being a little over dramatic. If you take all of those gems off, and left the flat gunmetal or silver finish on it..then they would be an instant classic 5 spoke design.

Those are ASANTI wheels, and they cost 250k, they have zirconias in them. They actually also have a wheel with real diamonds in them and they cost 1million dollars (they even come with a free Bentley!)

These are novelty items so I won't even get into establishing a serious opinion on them.

I'd rather put on the wheels with LEDs on the spokes that allow you to flash graphics and such on them as you drive.
